So I haven't even brewed my first brew yet.... if it doesn't rain tomorrow my plan is to do my first brew tomorrow.
Well today i was explaining to my girlfriend the brew process.... and she basically told me I cant waste 15 to 20 minutes of water from the garden hose ever time I want to brew. She is really hippie and recycle friendly, she takes 5 min max shower just not to waste water, so I sort of expected this.
So I told her I would get a pump to recycle most of the water with my 50' 3/8" immersion chiller that has water hose connections on my batch after this one.
Would these pumps work?

Are they over kill?
I figured id drop the temp at first let some water run off till temp drops. Then rerun hose with some ice or reusable ice packs through a big plastic storage tub to not waste anymore water. I think id make her happy with that plus drop temp quick since water out the tap here in South Carolina in july is rather hot anyway.
